Planning Properly — Part Two

James 4:13-17  (ID: 2596)

Whatever plans we arrange in this life are under God’s purposeful control. This is why it is imperative that we do not become proud or overconfident in the plans we make for the future. Alistair Begg encourages us to trust in God’s providence as we plan and to ensure that we have peace with God through Jesus Christ while we still have the breath of life.

Boasting About Tomorrow

13Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— 14yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. 15Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” 16As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
